EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful caricature captures the moment of camaraderie between two esteemed English actors, John Ryder and Tom Mead, as they shake hands backstage during the 1880s. Both gentlemen are dressed in the formal attire of legitimate theatre performers, with Ryder donning a top hat and Mead wearing a bowler hat. The setting is an entracte, a brief intermission between acts, and the relaxed atmosphere is palpable as the two colleagues share a laugh. John Ryder, born in 1814, was a well-known figure in the Victorian theatre scene, with a career spanning over six decades. He began his acting career in the 1830s and was particularly renowned for his comedic roles. Tom Mead, born in 1821, also had an impressive career, starting in the 1840s, and was known for his versatility as an actor, excelling in both comedy and tragedy. The caricature, created by the skilled hand of Terry Parker, adds a playful touch to the image, with the exaggerated expressions and gestures of the two actors, making it a charming representation of the behind-the-scenes camaraderie that existed between colleagues during the Victorian era. The image serves as a reminder of the rich history of English theatre and the important role that actors like Ryder and Mead played in shaping the entertainment landscape of their time.
